If you haven’t already taken the Ghan and the Indian Pacific trains, please do because they are the greatest train and maybe in general, the greatest journey in Australia.
Luxurious train cabins, very good selection of off train excursions, the foods are matching the very best of any restaurants and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
Due to track conditions, the night between Adelaide and Alice Springs can be a bit bumpy so make sure to bring noise cancelling headphones, and have a hot shower before bed.
Oh and they now have wifi onboard in the lounge car should you need it.
Awesome ride! Bar has a decent selection of (free) wines and beers and the trip goes fast ;)
Nice and clean facilities and everything seems to work like clock-work. I took the economy class ticket on The Ghan to Alice. It was a great experience I hope to enjoy again in a few years. The bar and canteen on board is well priced and I cant even describe how comfortable the trip was. Definitely something that needs to be ticked off the bucket list.
This passenger train terminal is the arrival and departure point for The Ghan, The Overland and Indian Pacific train journeys. The Terminal is separate to the Adelaide Metropolitan Rail network. If you plan to get to the Terminal using public transport the closest Rail Station is some distance to walk (minimum 10-15 minutes) and several buses available on Richmond Road and Anzac Highway. Be ready to walk as they all have quite a distance between each other. The Terminal itself has been recently renovated and has all the necessities. The staff are friendly and approachable. The rail journeys are well worth the money if you have the time. If you are a train enthusiast The Ghan, Indian Pacific are a MUST. Be sure to read your train timetable carefully as the train doesn't leave everyday.
